Zoning Question

I currently have a Compellent storage array configured and implemented in production with some of my test data on it. I previously had a EMC CX3-40 and an EVA5000 which were mirrored by two separate head units running DataCore software and connected via Brocade 200 and 300 FC Switches. I have recently decommissioned my EVA and DataCore, but still would like to use my EMC as a test environment.

Here is my issue, when I zone in my EMC without using DataCore I seem to be getting error messages from Compellent saying it cannot find the LUN from the EMC, when there are no LUN’s associated to the host which is TSTVM01.

Here is my question…should I create two separate zones with my test server with one zone seeing the EMC and the other zone seeing the Compellent? My thought is I should create two separate zones each with a view to the test server and just use VMware to move the data between the LUN’s from each array….thoughts?
